Rub n buff incident

Mom2Dogs · ‎03-09-2010

UGH...I squeezed the tube of black rub n buff and the paint shot out of the tube!! I now have several spots, small, but I notice them, on my carpet. Does anything take paint out of carpet but leaves the color intact?

Thanks.

Have you tried Mr. Clean Kitchen Eraser? I'd try that, it got it off my linoleum in the laundryroom.

@Mom2Dogs. I have no idea what rub and buff is. Is it oil or water based? If oil, try paint thinner on a hidden spot first. If water based, soap and water.

@Kachina624 Rub n Buff is a paint used mostly for craft projects. It comes in small tubes.

I am not sure if it is oil or water, I need to read the text on the tiny tube. I did try a little soap with water, didn't budge.

@We rescue cats I might have a magic eraser in the spare bath...I don't love them but if it works...great! All I can do is try.

@Mom2Dogs. Put some on your finger and see if cool running water washes it off. Does it feel oily, greasy? It's probably oil based. Try not to let it dry.

I don't know if it will work on your carpet but I have successfully removed permanent marker from fabric with Dawn Powerwash.

The product dries to a hard wax finish....the description does not really clarify oil or water. I read a few suggestions on how to remove but I think I have let it set to long to remove...but I am going to try.

Lacquer or mineral spirits is the preferred method if the consumer wants to remove the product from their project.
